well, indeed, state and local governments do have laws against domestics violence, but they don't have sufficient funding to deal with it, and there is the issue of crimes that take place across state lines, interstate crimes, and crimes on federal lands, like tribal lands, like military bases, and the like. those simply were not addressed. violence against women act was needed to set up those critical laws in areas that were not addressed by state laws, and also to provide money that was badly needed for law enforcement for prosecution, for judges, for training, for director services. >> we're talking about $600 million plus, is that correct, a year in annual appropriations? there's some money still left over and expired in 2011 that was first enacted in 1994. it was a joe biden measure. he was headed to the judiciary committee. >> it was the co-author that was horin hatch that was a biden hatch bill in 1994 and how do you think there was a single disenting vote when it was pass examined re-authorized in 2000 and 2005. >> the thinking back in 1994, i'm thinking back of the reaction af

let's see what the government says today. clearly hugo chavez is not doing well enough to be able to either walk down the steps of the escalator, of the airport -- airplane or even maybe to speak, so there's a lot of questions underway. remember, he has to be sworn in because from his last re-election, the constitution said he had to be sworn in in venezuela, and because he was in cuba, that didn't happen. we'll see now what the next step is for a government that really right now is on very shady constitutional grounds. >> indeed. jose diaz ballart from telemundo, thank you very much. alan gomez, again, congratulations. great scoop. >> what do immigration reform advocates have to say? jan, president of the nation's largest hispanic civil rights group joining us next. and later, will the vatican call an earlier conclave? you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. for tapping into a wealth of experience. for access to one of the top wealth management firms in the country. for a team of financial professionals who

they combine with the government. look at what president obama just did in shifting his campaign into a 501c4 lobbying group. he also opened the door in an executive order to funding that from the goth. he really understands the battle. he understands the fight. he's very, very smart, and he understands he can use outside institution like media matters, he can use outside institutions like organizing for action, what was obama for america, he can use those institutions to push positions he cannot do as president of the united states. he combines with those institutions to push forward that agenda and to silence people and to launch boycotts and secondary boycotts against anybody who disagrees. we now live in a country where if you abide by the basic laws of economics, you are an enemy of this administration. if you are phil mickelson and say the taxes in california are too high, i'm leaving, then you are told that you are somehow a bad person. there's something wrong with you. now, there are a lot of people who have l
